The National Music Center:

Dedicated to Listening, Learning and
Living Music in the Digital Age

On March 30, 2006, the National Music Center (NMC) entered into an agreement with The Historical Society of Washington, D.C. (HSW) that calls for the Music Center to occupy a substantial portion of the 1901 Beaux Arts Carnegie Library for the next four years. 

During its occupancy, the National Music Center will offer a wide variety of performances, classes, exhibits and special events that will showcase the breadth and depth of music in Washington, D.C. and throughout America.
